DUI/DWI offenders in Clarkson, Kentucky are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clarkson, Kentucky who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
